4 warlocks + ?

[Sloefke]

Hey guys,

my current 5 shammy crew is on hold.
I'm now still profiting of my RAF accounts to lvl my locks, also a 5 team crew.

Now I wonder, since I don't have a healer, woulden't it be better to put a healer char with them.

I see that there are alot of Priest with the lockteams.
Is there a reason why it should be a priest?
Is a druid, paly as good, or do they lack some skills.

I'm thinking
Druid:cyclone, entangle, hots, bearform, tought they had a new skill in wotlk (aoe healing)
Paly: plate, stun, bubble, low on mana burning, heard something about HOT's for a paly?
Priest: hots, PoM, PoH, fear (aldo with 4 locks :-) , shield

I'm thinking about a resto druid, perhaps a arena build with some survivel build in, and would be good to do some arena with friends with.

Can I get some feedback on this 5th place.
Thinking to grand a lvl on 60 to on of these classes.

warlocks = dots, so you can run around while dotting everyone up. Paladin has strong casts, but has to stand still for that. So that makes him not a good option. same goes for a resto shaman.

Priests and Druids both got hots to keep the warlocks up. The strenght of a resto druid is that they're very moble and can run away if needed. While multiboxing with the locks that isn't an option which makes your druid a relative easy kill. Priests can have more hits compared to a boxed resto druid and got Psychic scream. That's why priests are best imo. PoM can heal effective in a small group,renew for single target. Prayer of Healing can heal everyone up at once and is relatively cheap if you effectively heal everyone in the party(AoE for example).

Leveling outside of instances and don't need a dedicated healer? Uber shadowpriest synergies with warlocks.

Leveling in an instance and need someone to heal the blueberries? Uber healzors in a respec.

ok, I gues Priest it is :P

shadow priest is best then you have dps buff and fort heals when needed.

I run 4 locks and shadow priest and really like it

Not to mention the whole Lifetap-->Lifetap-->AoE Heal = everyone at full mana in about 5 seconds.

Mass dispell must be the coolest spell in the game tbh!
